I have seen Steiger stuck like that it was laser leveling at night and a old dam had been filled in earlier was driving over the top with a scoop full of dirt and she sunk down on one side like that , The tractor only had a door on one side and the bottom of the door was in the dirt , the driver had to sit till morning for the next shift on strange angle true story Paul

I dunno, I don't tend to comment because I will no doubt end up doing a far worse job myself shortly afterwards

mate need to put up a picture of the injector pump so people can help you solve the problem if you have smoke coming out the exhaust you have fuel compression must be low make check the valve clearance ? Paul

Im safe with my old bucket of bolts Thats pretty minor but good that they are gunna fix and bull shit about it Paul

The orange tractor you would have seen is a Fiat high clearance for the sugar cane. We are sugar cane farming, hay and about to try mung beans, a bit of everything. The loader tractor is a Chamberlain, an Aussie brand made up till the mid 80's until John Deere took them over in the recession of the 80's. This ground is all flood irrigated. It's fairly flat and we have no winter, just a wet season and a dry season. Paul

If this motor turns over really easy maybe the timing is out one tooth maybe check the cam and injector pump are still correctly timed to the crank I guess with out been there its hard to tell but start at the basics and work from there Paul

No turning back now LOL Looking good Paul

thats come up really well looks its gunna match the house spot on Paul

some more useless information that photo was taken on Cubbie station and was Australias largest private irrigation concern it got into financial trouble in the drought 2001 - 2010 and is now owned by China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubbie_Station http://www.cubbie.com.au/ http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/cubbie-goes-to-china-for-a-steal/story-e6frg8zx-1226562159297 Paul

A diesel motor needs compression in the cylinder to burn the diesel , if it doesnt make enough compression the diesel cant burn to make the motor run Do you have any smoke coming out the exhaust ?? Pauk

has it run since the rebuild ??? does it have good compression and has the compression been checked ? Paul

Ah that would be me then I take it Paul

Cliff who ???????????????

Today's useless information That's a stick rake on the front of the dozer. It's only used for stick raking after you have cleared the ground. Most times it's all pulled (a boat anchor chain between two dozers) then left for 12 months. The grass grows up thru and the timber dries and then its fired and whats left is raked into windrows and burnt. And yeah it does make the truck look small. Paul

mate your not getting fuel or at least it sounds like thats the problem What model Mack a picture of the motor will most likely be enough if your not sure Paul

nice and shiny Paul

surprise surprise hey good old soap and water and good old common sense Paul

Give you blokes something to laugh at maybe , maybe not been shifting dirt on the farm and well the IH gave way to gravity and water and mud LOL Caution dont watch this if you have just eaten might throw up all over your computer when you see my ugly moosh , you know what they say as ugly as a hat full of assholes seeya Paul

how cool is this

I wonder if the HP ratings are like the old Benz trucks of the 80's they all sound good but were only Shetland ponies as opposed to the US Cummins Mack and Caterpillar that had Shire draft horse The older Benzs looked good on paper but never had any balls dunno much about these new ones you dont see many new Benzs on the roads any more or at least not in the numbers you once did

a 27 liter pussy I bet it felt like Christmas to him LOL thats a lot of power there Tim Paul

Funny thing about the Vietnam war in Australia, at least it has turned full circle I feel You never hear boo from the peace protesters you never even hear them mentioned and havent for 30 years I reckon , I guess they have all gone onto to tree hugging and farmer bashing instead It is something Australia is, I feel ashamed of the way we treated our veterans that returned from the Vietnam war back in the day and have spent the last 25 years or so as country trying to make amends for the way the veterans got treated on their return I feel and I have nothing to back this up but I feel just from the stuff I see on TV that we treat our veterans a lot better than almost any other country in the world and as a country today we have a lot in place to help our veterans and their families for the rest of their lives There was concern back in the 80's that ANZAC day and remembrance day would be forgotten as the crowds dwindled but the exact opposite has happened crowds are bigger than ever at least in my part of the country And whats even stranger is all veterans from all countries are allowed to take part in our ceremonies I think Australia must come across as a very strange and unusual country to the rest of the world Gallipoli (Turkey) were we invaded back in WW1 and promptly ground to a halt and failed big time , that campaign one of our biggest stuff ups ever would be the most remembered and spoken about and whats even stranger a 100 years later Turkey as they have for many years embraces the day !!!! there is 1000's of Australians go to Gallipoli every year school kids raise money and take whole classes over there for the ceremony each year We sure are a funny breed us Skippy the bush kangaroo Aussies LOL Paul

Today is Vietnam Veterans Day and today we remember. The day was originally known as Long Tan Day, chosen to commemorate the men of D Company, 6RAR who fought in the battle of Long Tan in 1966. On that day, 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought a pitched battle against over 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops in a rubber plantation not far from the small village of Long Tan. The Australians prevailed, but only after fighting in torrential rain for four hours. They were nearly overrun, but were saved by a timely ammunition resupply, accurate artillery fire from the nearby Australian base, and the arrival of reinforcements by armoured personnel carrier. Eighteen Australians lost their lives and 24 were wounded, the largest number of casualties in one operation since the Australian task force had arrived a few months earlier. After the battle the bodies of 245 enemy soldiers were found, but there was evidence that many more bodies had been carried away. On the third anniversary of Long Tan, 18 August 1969, a cross was raised on the site of the battle by the men of 6RAR. Veterans from the battle gathered at the cross to commemorate the fallen, and the day was commemorated by them as Long Tan Day from then on. Over time, all Vietnam veterans adopted the day as one to commemorate those who served and died in Vietnam. In 1987, following the very successful Welcome Home parade for Vietnam veterans in Sydney, Prime Minister Bob Hawke announced that Long Tan Day would be known as Vietnam Veterans Day. Since then, it has been commemorated every year as the day on which the service of all those men and women who served in Vietnam is remembered. The Vietnam War was Australia’s longest military engagement of the 20th century. Almost 60,000 Australians fought in the war and more than 500 lost their lives. Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated on 18 August every year. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan which would become one of the most extraordinary chapters in Australia’s military history. I have copied and pasted this as quicker than me typing a mess up here and making a hash of it to all the blokes who fought in that war and all the wars that Australia gets involved in thank you Paul

As already said looks like new top job Paul
